Wisdom teeth extraction after braces?

#1 Post by fantod »

i JUST got my braces on today and I was wondering if anyone's had experience with wisdom teeth extractions after braces? I had 4 premolars taken out 2 weeks before starting braces and I didn't want to get 3 more teeth removed on top of that (since they're not impacted or anything). My orthodontist says I can remove them after the braces come off but will this change how my teeth look later? Will they shift?

Are you having braces for an open bite or crowding ?

I'm wondering the same. I have all my wisdoms too. Almost done with braces also. I never thought to ask but my big panoramic x ray showed horizontal impaction of my lower wisdoms.

For crowding only as far as I know... My orthodontist didn't mention anything about my bite.
